Recipe - Nut Pastry Dough

1/3 cup Walnuts; hazelnuts, almonds,
or pecans
1 One half cup Allpurpose flour
1 One half tablespoon Granulated sugar
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
1 One half tablespoon Cold butter; cut into pieces
2 One half tablespoon Walnut oil
5 tablespoon Cold water; (up to 6)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in a pie pan and bake for 5 to 7
minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool.

In a food processor, combine nuts, flour, sugar and salt; process until
nuts are finely chopped.

Add butter and process until incorporated. Transfer to a large bowl.
Drizzle oil over flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub oil into the
mixture. One tablespoon at a time, add water and mix with a fork until
dough is crumbly and holds together when pressed. Gently form dough

into a flattened disk. The dough will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic
wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 6
months. Return dough to room temperature before rolling.
